I have a circular stair that I'm using on a project and for the life of me I can't seem to model it.  I have attached a sketch of the basic design and some examples of the stair design from the manufacturer's website.  Any suggestions would be very much appreciated.

Thanks,

Surfrusty

Are you looking to create that exact stair with stringer detail and all, or just a generic spiral stair placeholder?  If you want a place holder that you can then detail later, I'd create a spiral stair with no stringer and no riser, just the treads and your railing.  Then you can create just one stringer as an independent family and array it around a radius and adjust each stringer in the array to just under the tread.  Then, you can create a new baluster family to match those in the mnfr's specs, it will automatically follow the curve up the stair.

 Feel free to email me with any questions.  It'll be time consuming to make it fully detailed for a rendering, but it is possible. 

 Best of luck.
